There have been two more Robins and a new Wonder Girl (or so I'm told). Apparently, everyone expects Impulse to become Kid Flash. Just need the new Aqualad and Speedy, and we're set. Trademarks being what thery are, we shouldn't have to wait too long.


Actually, as stupid as it sounds, Beast Boy is now Beast Boy... again. Don't know why they made the switch (it was done in the very underrated mini by a young unknown named Geoff Johns a few years back).

Logan's a little old to be called "boy", isn't he? I think he was about 16 in 1980 when NTT started, and given all the changes the others went thru, he must have aged at least 2 years by now.

But if a 20-something Grayson can belong to "Teen" Titans, then maybe a 20-year old Logan can be a "Boy".

If Buddy Baker isn't using the name, Logan ought use the "Animal Man" moniker. It fits him better than it fits anyone else.

Will it be:

The Teen Titan Archives

or

The Silver Age Teen Titan Archives?

The first invites confusion with the "New Teen Titans" line, I'm thinking.

I'd prefer "Original Teen Titans". For that matter, replace "Golden Age" in "Golden Age Flash", "Golden Age Green Lantern", "Golden Age Spectre", and "Golden Age Starman" with "Original"

No, don't mess with anything that already exists, please!
That way lies Masterworks-style chaos...

Which reminds me to ask, what are Boy George and The Beach Boys calling themselves these days?

Isn't Mike Love the only Beach Boy left?
He'll probably be calling himself that when he's 90.

Really great news!
I'll buy/order it from my online comic shop at once when it is announced in previews.

Heck, I waited so long for that archive volume!

I got The Art of Nick Cardy yesterday, it's a book by Vanguard Publications that's been out for a while. Very nice book. Cardy is perhaps one of the most underappreciated artists there is. This book includes some drawings by Cardy when he was barely into his teens; the drawings are outstanding and I could hardly believe that he did them when he was 13. The book also contains a long interview with Cardy. He is an articulate and gracious man who does not have much bad to say about anyone. While I enjoyed Cardy's Teen Titans, and especially enjoyed his Brave and the Bold Batman stories, I admit that I never paid much attention when he finally retired. This book serves as a wake up call to me, and a reminder that there are a number of talents out there who have yet to get their due. In this instance, my respect for Nick Cardy has gone up, and I'll buy any Archive edition that has his work in it.

This was high on my want list. Nick Cardy art & iconic sidekicks! Some of these have been repinted to death plus I have some of the original issue but still happy to get the chance to have a nice hardcover of this series. Hope it does well & we see future volumes!
